The revolutionary, cardio-based, total body-conditioning INSANITY® program is now at Beachside Fitness Studio. This calorie-torching, shirt-soaking workout is based on the principles of MAX interval training. It is designed to provide a safe, challenging and results-driven workout with no equipment necessary. Plyometric drills with nonstop intervals of strength, power, resistance and core training moves can only be described by one word - INSANITY.

Tania Lee, director of Group Fitness, Boot Camp and Kangoo Jumps at Beachside Fitness, said the introduction of INSANITY to our studio follows the latest fitness trend: high-intensity training. What makes INSANITY unique, she said, is that Shaun T.’s coaching makes people feel at ease. “He meets people where they are and coaches them in an inspiring, motivational way. At Beachside Fitness Studio, we aim to carry his enthusiastic torch by offering INSANITY classes that will make participants feel comfortable while still finding their edge.”

Forget everything you think you know about high-intensity workouts. Because INSANITY turns old-school interval training on its head.

If you’ve ever been to a Spin class, you know how that works. You motor along at a moderate pace for a while – then all at once, you kick up your speed and heart rate – just for a minute or so. After that, it’s back to a lower gear, giving you plenty of time to catch your breath.

But with INSANITY, you do exactly the opposite. You work flat out in 3 to 5-minute blocks, and take breaks only long enough to gulp some air and get right back to work. It’s called Max Interval Training, because it keeps your body working at maximum capacity through your entire workout. You keep pushing your limits – so your body has to adapt. That’s how you are able to get in such great physical shape in a short amount of time.

Kangoo Power class is an explosive, highly motivating, choreographed, interval training program. It is specifically designed to challenge the whole body, building muscular strength and endurance. Each Jump move is designed to focus on core stability, ensuring a balanced workout, to challenge even the fittest, but also the beginner.

The success of the classes is mainly due to the extraordinary feeling it creates, due to the high release of endorphins. Attendees get “addicted” to it. The basic moves are very easy and can be performed with growing complexity and intensity as you progress. Therefore, this program suits a broad range of people, even those who normally don’t take group aerobics.

Kangoo Power is also great for athletes, due to its use of plyometric techniques using Kangoo Jumps to maximize effort, whilst preventing damaging impacts to the joints. Come see what all the excitement is about!

A HIIT session often consists of a warm up period of exercise, followed by three to ten repetitions of high intensity exercise, separated by medium intensity exercise for recovery, and ending with a period of cool down exercise.

The high intensity exercise should be done at near maximum intensity. The medium exercise should be about 50% intensity. Tabata, a version of HIIT was based on a study by Professor Izumi Tabata and uses 20 seconds of ultra-intense exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated continuously for 4 minutes (8 cycles).

Benefits of High Intensity Interval Training

1. Efficient:Super-efficient HIIT is the ideal workout for a busy schedule—whether you want to squeeze in a workout during your lunch break or to get in shape for a fast-approaching event. Research shows you can achieve more progress in a mere 15 minutes of interval training (done three times a week) than the girl jogging on the treadmill for an hour. (A 10-minute fat-blasting cardio routine that burns more calories than a half hour on the treadmill!)

2. Burn More Fat:Not only do you burn more calories during a HIIT workout, but the effect of all that intense exertion kicks your body’s repair cycle into hyperdrive. That means you burn more fat and calories in the 24 hours after a HIIT workout than you do after, say, a steady-pace run.

3. Healthier Heart: Most people aren’t used to pushing into the anaerobic zone (that lovely place where you can’t breathe and you feel like your heart is trying to jump out of your chest). But in this case, extreme training produces extreme results. One 2006 study found that after 8 weeks of doing HIIT workouts, subjects could bicycle twice as long as they could before the study, while maintaining the same pace.

4. No Equipment Necessary:Running, biking, jump roping, and rowing all work great for HIIT, but you don’t need any equipment to get it done. High knees, fast feet, or anything plyometric like jumping lunges work just as well to get your heart rate up fast. In fact, some equipment like dumbbells can make HIIT less effective because you want the focus to be on pushing your heart to its max, not your biceps.

5. Lose Weight, Not Muscle:Anyone who has been on a diet knows that it’s hard to not lose muscle mass along with fat. While steady state cardio seems to encourage muscle loss, studies show that both weight training and HIIT workouts allow dieters to preserve their hard-earned muscles while ensuring most of the weight lost comes from fat stores. Win/win!

6. Increase Metabolism:
In addition to increased fat burning and more muscle preserved, HIIT stimulates production of your human growth hormone (HGH) by up to 450 percent during the 24 hours after you finish your workout. This is great news since HGH is not only responsible for increased caloric burn but also slows down the aging process, making you younger both inside and out!

7. Do It Anywhere:
You can do it in a boat, you can do it with a goat. You can do it here or there, you can do it anywhere! Dr. Seuss would have loved HIIT. Since it’s such a simple concept—go at maximum effort for a short period of time followed by a recovery period and repeat—you can adapt it to whatever time and space constraints you have.

8. Challenging:
This is not a workout you can do while reading a magazine or chatting with your friend. Because it’s so short, you will be working hard the whole time. The trade-off is this format offers seasoned exercisers a new challenge and new exercisers a quick way to see results. You may be in pain, you may be sucking wind, but you definitely won’t be bored!

The TRX system enables hundreds of exercises and progressions for every body part using nothing but the exerciser’s own body weight to generate resistance. The TRX Suspension Training is a leverage body weight exercise which safely builds power, strength, flexibility, balance & mobility.

At Beachside Ryde Fitness Studio, you will experience the real benefits of TRX group training, with Certified TRX trainers that will guarantee you a Full Body Workout.

Heart rate monitoring is an essential part of your fitness journey. See your cardiovascular performance, track your progress and know how many calories you are burning. Fat is burned in all the heart rate zones; it’s the burn rate that’s the key factor. A heart rate monitor serves as a guide to make sure you train according to the demands of your workout in conjunction with your target heart rate.

As long as you’re taking the time to exercise, you might as well stop guessing what your heart rate is and start getting acquainted with a machine whose sole purpose for existing, is to help you reach your goals! It is simply one of the best tools to help keep you accountable for training at the intensities that are right for you. It’s easy to get started at Beachside Ryde Fitness Studio in West Palm Beach.
